Manual of Histopathological Staining Methods

Abstract

work of Kaplan and his colleagues. (A seriously misprinted dose has a cor- rection slip and seems to be a solitary error.)Of course the hazard of a work of this sort is the possibility of personal bias; Kaplan is known to be an enthusiast who may on occasion overlook the ill effects of treatment.Thus when he claims that 'the incidence of incomplete hematopoietic recovery after total-lymphoid radio- therapy alone ... has been approximately I percent' one is entitled to ask what constitutes complete recovery and whether this includes a normal response to cytotoxic drugs.Probably not.Readers may also wish to see the opposition view to the theory of lymphatic spread presented at first hand.If so, they must wait for the multi-author British volume on the same topic but may, meanwhile, wonder whether it can hope to surpass Kaplan's considerable achievement.
